| Definition of artistic practice? | My artistic practice was doing field recordings and collecting different natural sounds around Bornholm. Driving around and hiking to the forest areas and to different cliffs were most interesting for me. |
| Title of the investigation at the residency | Healing Session with Clouds Passing By |
| Description of investigations and findings | My artistic practice was mainly doing field recordings and collecting different natural sounds around Bornholm. During the presentation day I made a sound performance called “Healing Session with Clouds Passing By” at the field near the house. For the live performance I used digital music equipment to play and mangle recorded sounds together with a singing bowl. I was mostly inspired by the highly cultivated landscape and lack of wilderness on the island. |
| What are you most curious about or invested in in your own practice? | Field recordings and collecting different natural sounds around Bornholm plus photography. |
| What questions did you bring to investigate and what questions are you leaving with? | My approach for the two weeks was mostly to get inspired by the surrounding landscape. I was surprised and also inspired by the highly cultivated landscape and lack of wilderness on the island. |
| Transformative, creative moments at the residency | I went for a walk on the empty field during the night with full moon and fog around me. I was alone and saw nothing but the cold blue light and fog around me and this was a really magical experience. |
